The frst official docuâ€" ment in which the many very obvious reasons for the union were with the mulnt ability stated was the report of Lord Durham‘s Com mission, nearly 30 years nfi" Nince that re« | port was made the union lwon a promiâ€" | nent s=bject of discussion both in and out of the movinces; it became a leading topic at | public meetings and in Parliamentary debates, | and the frequent ul»rno( men‘s counversation | throu, hout lh‘rnv nees.

Queen Anne, in hber letter to the &-ou:h,l‘ufl\ncm in 1706, on the union with Epgland, a case strictly in | point, as to the suficiency of existing Legisâ€" | Intures to deal with such a question, said ; ivs and differences among yourselves.

In conâ€" clusion, he must express his belicf that the House was engaged in a grave and great unâ€" dertaking in dealing with this subject (hear, hear), an undertaking no le«s than liberating to its natural destiny of selfâ€"reliance a large portion of the fairest part of this earth ; and when they remembered with what mpid strides Amwrica hat taken . ber place among the jwwers of the world, and when they reflected that the vast extent of these Provinces was as yet inhabited by not one hundredth part of the life that would replenish them, it would be seen that it was a serious occupation to be taking even a share in their future destiny. (Hear, hear.) A large portion of the Ameriâ€" van continent was already in full vigor, and but for our own folly that flourishing comâ€" munity might still have been connected with this country. He believed that at heart the erican people were really attached to us, :fiuu‘h occasionally they were inclined to quarre! with us in the way that brothers inâ€" variably were inclined to quarrel. (Laughter and =" hear, ") But the rest of that continent, still British, was asking us to assist it to deâ€" velope its on strength and resources iu conâ€" nection and in partnership with ourselves, and in allegiance to our common Sovereign, and be folt confident that that House would willingly give its sanction to the measure that was introduced, in order to carry out so bene: fivial a rlryoae He therefore felt much pleasure in moving the second reading of this bill, which presented for the acceptance of the House the, propositions of the Colonies, (Hear.) «pirit of British institutions they have done so, not as some have suggested, as a preliminary to future separation from this country, but they have xne so animated by a loyalty to the British Créwn and an attachment to British institutions which cavnot be surpassed even by the assembly which is about to ratify their acts, (Cheers). Em stt d ut‘ Mz.

Bwoutâ€"Although this inceasure ha» not excited much intetest in the House, or much in the country, yet it appears to me to be a measure of great importance, and 1 thiuk an importance which requires that the Hous: should be treated rather differently in respect of it than it has been. I have never before known of any great measure affecting any large portivn of the empire which has been brought in and attempted to be hurried through Parliament in the manner in which this Bill has been dealt with, 1t is far more importunt, however, to the inhabitants of the provinces than it is to us ; but it is not on that account we should be* expected to examine it less closely, and see that we are committing no errors in passing it. The right hon. genâ€" tleman (Mr. Adderley) has not made an exâ€" planation he was bound to make. ‘The Bill does include all the British North American Provinces, and I presume the two omitted are left out because it is clear they do not wish to come in. * Mz. Apperisy.=â€"Une of them of joining now." ® Mu. Briogt.â€"The reason why they are left | out is that \ they are not willing to come in. |J They may hercafter be willing, and the proviâ€" | I sion to admit them is a fair and reasonable | t provision,. There have been complaints that another of these provincesâ€"the province of | ‘ Nova Scotiaâ€"is also unwilling to come in, and it is assutned because some time ego the | ‘ Legislature of this province voted a resolution } ‘ partly in favor of some such scheme that thereâ€" ‘ * fore the ropulation is in tavor of it. T do not | | believe atall in the right and propriety of a | ‘ Legislature voting on a great question of this ; natureâ€"as, for example, the d}.egislnturc of Nova Scotiaâ€"if the people of Nova Scotia bave | never had the question put to them. . (Hear, | hear.) I have heard there is at prosent in |‘ London a petition complaining of the hasty | proceedings of Parliazent and asking for deâ€" | | lay, signed by at least oneâ€"half of all the men | ! in that province. No far as 1 know, it does | 1 ‘mot protest abselutely against a union, but it | ‘ protests against the manner in which it is beâ€" | ! jing brought about by this scheme and this | Bill, and the hasty measures of the Colonialâ€" |â€" uffice, Now, whether the scheme be a good 4 one ora bad one, I think scarcely anythiog | I ‘can be more foolish, looking 40 the tuture, | / than that any one of the provinces should be ' ' dragged into it, either perforce and pressure of / * the Colonialâ€"oftice, or by any hasty action on | ! the part of Parliament, in the hope of securing I a result which possibly the population of that | | | province may not wish to see brought about. | After urging delay‘ until a general clection | shall have taken place in Noya Scotia, Mr. | Bright continued, at some length to obâ€"| ject to a nominated, instead of an clecâ€" | / tive Senate and concluded as follows : | There is one important point which the right hon. gentleman said nothing avout in his speech, and which the member for Oxiord | / might have told us something about. . We | knew that Canada is a great country, and that | the population is or may soon be something |‘ like 4,000,000, and we can imagine and hope that, united tunder one Governor, the province may be more capable of defence, But what is intended with regara to the question of deâ€" l fence ? Is this new State, or this new nation, as I think Lord Monck described it, to be raised up under the aythority of an Act of the Imperial Parliament, and is everything to be done for it and given to it, and is it at the | same time intended to maintain" these fortâ€" ' resses garrisoncd by Engliâ€"h troops, numberâ€" ing, as at present, 12,000 to 15,000 _men? ‘ There are persons in this country, and there are also some from the North American Proâ€" l vinuces, who are illâ€"natured enough to say that | not a little of the loyalty which is said to preâ€" vail in Canada has its price. (" Hear, hear," and " Oh, oh.") â€"I believeâ€"I think it is natuâ€" ral to believe, it is reasonable to hope, that | thereis in that country a very strong attachâ€" | ment to this country. (Hear, hear.) At the | same time, if there be here constant applionâ€" | tions for guarantees for railways and for conâ€" tributions for fortresses and works of defence, | if everything is to be given to a nation, indeâ€" | pendent except in the appointment of Lord | Monck and his successor, and except in the | contributions which we make for their public | objects, 1 should. say it would be better, far | better for them and for us, cheaper for us and | less demoralizing for them, that they were | really an independent State, maintaining their | own fortunes, fighting their own cause, and building up their own future without uiying uponue. (Hear, hear.) We know, as everyâ€" body knows, that the population of Canadai, l family for family, is in a much better position, as regards all the comforts of home, than, famiâ€" ty for family, are the,great bulk ot the popuâ€" lation of this country. The time is come | when it ought to be clearly understood that the taxes of England are no longer to cross the ocean to defray expenses of any kind with. in Canada or within the Confederation which 1s about to be formed. ‘The right hon. gentleâ€" man the Underâ€"Secretary for the Colonics has never boen the advocate for great expsnditure I in the colonies by the mother country. Onl the ¢ontrary, he is ons of the memburgflfthis | House who have distinguished themseives by ‘ what I will call an honest system to the mother country, and a wise system to the colonies ; but I think in a measure like this, having such stupendous results for the future of the popuâ€" lations of those great colonies, we have a right to ask that there should be some considerxâ€" | tion for the revenue of taxpayers of this | | country ; and in discussing this Bill with the | | delegates from the North American Provinces | I think it was the duty of the Colonial Minisâ€" | ter to go fairly into this question, with a view, | if possible, of arranging it to the satisfacâ€" | tion of the colonies and the mother country. I | believe there is no greater delusion than to | suppose that on the part of the United States‘ | there is any wish to make any aggression on . . | Canada, or to annex Canada by torce. In my | opinion, there is not a part of the world that | runs less risk of aggression than Canada unless | in that quarter whence came that foolish and . | impotent attempt of certain discontented perâ€" â€"| sons from this kingdom, who not long ago ] were subjects of the Queen. : America has no e m,mlu of the kind. No American h an, and no American party, dreamg of | | an aggression on Canada, or of annexing Caâ€" | nade by force;. and therefore every farthing : | you spend on fortresses, and every other exâ€" +| penditure you incur with the idea of shutting out American aggression, is money squandered 4| from an hallucination which you ought to get â€"| rid of, KEven if the expenditure did not proâ€" i | ceed trom a delusion of that sort, it would for | the most part be a waste of money, because, if s | the United btates entertained the design which â€"| muny attributed to them two years ago, such i | an expenditure would not be effective for the â€" | object in view. I have not risen to object to . | the second reading, though I think that the r | Governinent might have done, what is generâ€" â€" | ally done between first and second readings, â€" | and that is, given a little more time. I think . | they do not treat the province of Nova : Scotia > | with fi*t umlenm generosity and considâ€" ) | eration rblch are rable when we are about ? | to make so great a change in its present and i | future -ru For my part, I want the popuâ€" t | lation of those countries to do what they conâ€" â€"| sider best for their own interests;â€"to remain y | with this country if they like ; to become an â€"| independent State if they like, and struggle 1| for a career of utility and glory ; or, if they s | think it better to annex themselves to the y | United States, I should not complain even of â€"| that. But, whatever their course, no man in s | this House, no man in the provinces themâ€" a | selves, more mfihm“x wishes for their welfare n | and greatness, I have taken the liberty â€" | go fltlnu ...' criticise thgl‘polky. u(Bu-Lt, l:‘w.) _ Sir J, Patixorox.â€"I bave seldom heard an observation in the House with greater segret than that of the hon. member for Birmingbam when hbe said a few moments ago, that he thought the loyalty of Canada has its price.

Canada, with the territories lying beyond it, formed more than Lalf of ‘the North American contiâ€" nent. Did the hon. member for Birmingham ;, think the peace and liberties of the world would \* be better secured if this half of the continent | l« were uz:ud to the United States? (Cheers.) | FE Every of common sense knew that Canada ; ,, could not stand by itself; it must either be _ British or American ~under the Crown or * under the Stars and Stripe®s.. The hon. memâ€" ber for Birmingham thought we should be the . 5 better of losing all territotial comnexion with Canada ; but he could not agree with that docâ€" ; trinc. . Descending to the lowest arid most ; 1 material view of the subject, he did not believe | that as a mere money question the separation 1' would be for our interest. Take again, the | 4 question of defence. Canada had a coast | } line of 1,000 miles, possessed some of the ; . finest barbors on the| North ~American |‘ Continent, and a ‘meréantile marine enâ€" * \titling it to the thirl ramk among mariâ€" | { ‘time â€"nations. The _ moment these . adâ€"| vantages> passed into (the hands of the | ‘ United States that country would become the | 4 greatest naval power in the world. In preâ€" | ; gerving commercial relations with the Uaited ; ll States, the Canadian frontier line of 3,000 ; miles was likewise extremely usefual. As long as British power and enw!rrisc extended along q one side of this boundary line it would be imâ€" 1 possible for the United States to pursue what | , might be called a Japanese policy. But if the | / frontier line became the :;‘ coast, what might 4 ‘be looked for then ? Scarvely three y: had | | elapsed since Mr. Cobden declared thn:"thrn 7 had not been a plentiful barvest in America |~ he did not know where food could have been | procured tor the people of this country.

We bad sympathies alike with Ausâ€" | ( tralia and the other colonies.

He had not only cast doubts on the lovaity of Canads, bnt distinctly expressed his upinion in favor of th» sacrifice of the colonies of England, which ho said, would'lxuyrell without them. â€" On th.. Mr. Fortescrc said it Kad been his fortune for some years to take an official and personal interest in colonial affairs, and he was, there» fore, unwilling to allow this» great measure, upon the successful introduction of which h congragulated his right hon. friend ©pposite to pass"without remark. ‘The accasion was wfit for congratulation both to our fellow subâ€" jects in North America and ourselves. ‘The people of Canada,a name rightly retained for the Confederation, would continue to enjoy all the rights and privileges of Britishvcitizenship, and would also become members ot a great community with largeropportunities for social and political distinction, and.a promise of more rapid growth in weaith and.strength. One point Ttequired to be carefully watched : he referred to our military expenditure in North America. +(Hear.) ‘The accounts proâ€" cured some eight or ten years back by the committee upon military defences in our coiâ€" onies showed that while ofr milithry expenâ€" diture was decreasing in places like the Cape and New Zealand, it had ‘very largely increased in North America. Mr. Merivale, a mostcomâ€" petent authority,‘ réckoned that in 1858 our military ‘expenditure in colonies to which we sent troope, not as & protection against native tribes, but against possible external attack (these being, almost exclusively, our Notth American colonies, amounted to £400%000 aâ€" Mr. Havrigio condemned the baste which had been shown in pushing #o important a measure through Parliement. Mrc. Marsit was of opinfon that it would have been better that the Licutenantâ€"Governors should be'ntfipoin(ed directly by the Crown, and not by the Governor of the Confedcration, tor in that case the men appointed would be less likely to be objectionable on local grounds.‘ As fur 4s Nova scotia was concernâ€" <d, it would have been better to have waited a little time until they should have learnt the result of the general election upon this particuâ€" lar point, and even if unwilling at first, he had no doubt the people of that province would come into the Confederation afterwards, just as those States of America which did not join the Union in the beginning afterwards came in. He wished 40 say one word as to our miliâ€" tary expenditure in colonics, Hon, genttemen were pot, perbaps, aware that the protection of our trade cost very much more in places which were not colenics thau in those which were. For instance, our expenditureâ€"in tie Mediterâ€" ratrean, China, Japan, and South Arférica for tite protection of our trade was enormous, while it was very light as regaided our great trade with Canada and the Australian colonies.
